Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

The rest of the prices seem pretty reasonable, but those numbers on Pieds and Caramels are WAY below market value. Did you drop a zero when transcribing these or have you got a source for very inexpensive Ball morphs? If the latter, I'm sure you will have NO problem selling these little babies for twice what you're asking.

I checked the profile. He appears to have done other import deals in the past, so I assumed this wasn't Prince Mubutu's Nigerian Reptile Importers seeking new suckers*ahem* clients. And the rest of the prices offered are good but nowhere near as spectacularly low as the prices on Caramels and Pieds. That was what piqued my curiosity.
If Kingdom Reptiles can get genuine Caramel Albinos for $450 and Pieds for $500 I don't think they'll have any problem selling a couple dozen of each within 24 hours after they arrive in the U.S. -- even if they double or triple the price.

I am only getting babies, because the adults are much more expensive.
Anyway, I'll post pics when they come in, and we'll take it from there.

I've seen low white Pied hatchlings going for $2k to $2,500, more for those with a high percentage of white. Caramel Albino hatchlings usually sell for anywhere between $5k and $7k, in my experience: others may give you different estimates, but they certainly both go for a lot more than $450 to $500 on the open market.

Update
I did a search on the supplier, Casa Reptilia, and someone posted here on Fauna that they are scammers, so until further notice, scratch my ad.

That's what I was wondering, Malcolm....I'm glad you did the search and found out before you made your purchase, and in turn it hurt your reputation. If they were offering pieds and caramels at a price low enough for you to be able to resell them at the prices you have listed......it's beyond a "red flag".
